We want the love that Christ showed to flow out of our lives, impacting the community and building each other up in the faith. We come from all different backgrounds, cultures and stories but are united in the pursuit and worship of Christ.
Above all else, we want to glorify God.

Amy Trahan
Minister of Children & Office Management
I’m Amy and though I will always be a Louisiana girl at heart, I have called Clay County home for the past 30 years. My husband (Chad) and I have been blessed to call LABC our church home for 18 years now. I am the Office Ministry Assistant but my primary calling at LABC is that of Children’s Director. My greatest joy in ministry is to help the most precious ones in our congregation, the children…HIS children, understand how much He loves them and see them respond to Him with soul saving, life changing faith. And though my peer group is mainly those age 12 and under😉, I also love building relationships with God’s older children and serving alongside them to reach our community for Him.
